Verified Answer :

Your answer is 8 cups of yogurt and 4 cups of juice!!!

Answer:

Eight cups of yogurt will be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cups of yogurt used in 12 cups of smoothies be x

Cups of juice  used in 12 cups of smoothies = 12- x

The ratio of yogurt to juice is 2 cups to 1 cup that is:

\(\frac{Yogurt}{Juice}=\frac{2}{1}\)

Ratio will be maintained through out 12 cups of smoothies:

\(\frac{Yogurt}{Juice}=\frac{2}{1}=\frac{x}{12-x}\)

\(2(12-x)=1(x)\)

\(24-2x=x\)

\(24=3x\)

x = 8

Eight cups of yogurt will be used.
